From Page Three to Hollywood: Keeley Hazell's Extraordinary Journey
The Unlikely Rise of Keeley Hazell: From Page 3 to Hollywood
In a shocking turn of events, former Page 3 girl Keeley Hazell has penned a tell-all memoir, "Everyone's Seen My Tits," revealing the highs and lows of her meteoric rise to stardom. With her sizzling looks and razor-sharp wit, Hazell has captivated audiences worldwide, but what lies beneath the surface of this glamour model turned Hollywood A-lister? Thescholarlynote.com uncovers the fascinating story of how Hazell defied convention and achieved success on her own terms.
Hazell's journey began when she was just 18 years old. Fresh out of her teenage years, she made headlines by sending a provocative package to The Sun, featuring topless shots of herself in the hopes of becoming the paper's new Page 3 girl. Little did she know that this would be just the beginning of an illustrious career.
"I was mortified," Hazell recalls of the experience, "but at the same time, I felt a sense of liberation. It was as if I was taking control of my life and pushing against the boundaries." And push they did – with her newfound fame came opportunities galore, including lucrative modeling contracts and a spot on the coveted FHM cover.
But Hazell's success wasn't just about looks; she had a razor-sharp business acumen. She invested wisely, buying not one but two properties in London before the age of 25. It was clear that this girl was on the rise.
However, with fame comes scrutiny, and Hazell faced her fair share of challenges. In 2007, a sex tape featuring her and then-boyfriend Theo made headlines, leaving her reeling. The aftermath was marked by self-doubt and depression, but Hazell refused to let it define her.
"I thought I'd never be able to show my body again," she reveals in her memoir. "But I realized that I had the power to take back control." And so, with a newfound sense of determination, Hazell made the bold decision to leave glamour modeling behind and pursue her true passion – acting.
Fast-forward to 2009, when Hazell packed her bags for Los Angeles, intent on making it big in Hollywood. With a student visa in hand, she enrolled in acting classes and started landing small roles in indie films. It wasn't long before she landed a spot in the hit TV show Ted Lasso, playing the role of Bex – a former Page 3 girl with a penchant for drama.
But what many don't know is that Hazell's relationship with Jason Sudeikis, the show's star and creator, was more than just professional. The two were romantically linked before parting ways in 2022. "I'm not sure I'd call it a traditional romance," she coyly reveals. "Let's just say we had our own thing."
Despite her success, Hazell remains humble and grounded, crediting her tough upbringing for her resilience. Growing up in Catford, South London, she faced poverty and domestic violence firsthand. Her father, Roy, would often lash out at his family, leaving scars that still linger.
"I don't think I'd be where I am today if it wasn't for the struggles I faced," Hazell asserts. "They gave me a fire in my belly, a drive to succeed no matter what."
Now, with her memoir "Everyone's Seen My Tits" hitting shelves this week, Hazell is ready to take on the next chapter of her life – and the world is watching.
When asked about her future plans, Hazell reveals that she's considering a spot at Yale University, studying English or philosophy. "It's exciting," she says with a hint of mischief. "Who knows what I'll do next?"
One thing's for sure: Keeley Hazell has come a long way from the shy teenager who sent those provocative photos to The Sun all those years ago. With her quick wit, razor-sharp business acumen, and unwavering determination, she's proven that anything is possible with hard work and ambition.
